Description
Out Impact, a national gay online magazine focusing on making a positive impact within the gay community, will in our fourth 2009 event be celebrating good times for a good cause in a special fundraising event for Coastal Horizons Rape Crisis Center at The Soapbox (255 N. Front St.) in Wilmington, NC on July 17th, 2009 from 9 p. m. to 1 a. m.

Headlining will be North Carolina native, singer/songwriter Kyler England. England has opened for Sting, Annie Lennox, Kelly Clarkson, Gavin DeGraw, Melissa Etheridge and Avril Lavigne to name a few. Kyler’s music has been heard on Ghost Whisperer, Army Wives, Guiding Light, Zoey 101, Rollergirls, Paradise City and the film “The Lucky Ones” starring Rachel McAdams and Tim Robbins.

In her fifth studio release, Simple Machine, reviewed in February on OutImpact.com, wrestles with some tough questions- as evidenced in the title track, “how can you believe the heart is only a simple machine?”- and finds herself torn between God and science, free will and destiny, anger and forgiveness, union and solitude, and of course, the happy love song and the break-up song.

England says of the album, “It’s a little more pop-electronica, a little more alt-country, a little more singer-songwriter, and a lot more me. I feel like with every song I write and every record I make, I get closer to my truest voice both as a singer and writer. These songs all mean a lot to me personally- they’re 3/4 autobiographical and the other 1/4 are inspired by people close to me. And I’m not telling who or which songs so don’t ask,” she adds with a smile.

Kyler England’s official website is www.kylerengland.com and is available for media interviews. Also featured is Mark Kano (http://www.markkano.com/), from Greensboro, NC, who is best known as the lead singer of Athenaeum; Vonrenzo from New York City (http://vonrenzo.com/) in promotion of their new release, Indica Dove Sei, and local Wilmington duo, Politics of Confession.

Kyler England
Listening to any Kyler England song, it's easy to believe you're hearing a classic in the making: gorgeous, organic pop music that speaks to your heart like a close friend. Her soulful voice draws you in with its fragile strength, then leaves you breathless when it soars to brilliant heights. She sings like you'd always wished you could, with all the raw honesty of your most painful moments and all the beauty of your fiercest hopes. There is something universal going on here, something magical. Comparisons to Sarah McLachlan and Patty Griffin are mere approximations; Kyler has a style and charisma all her own.
